I could be mistaken, but I believe it was John's father, F.C.

That may be how it still iss, since I haven't see the bass in person for quite awhile. I do seem to recall also, that someone said that they thought the zero-fret had been removed not so long ago.

Maybe it did get replaced. Could I get Mr. Hall to shed some light on this one.
Never mind, probably best not to ask.
Evidently, there are quite a few stories circulating about how Paul got his Rick, and many are proving false. My apologies once again for perpetuating one of them.johnhall wrote:. . . .which is total baloney. And yes, I was the one who presented it, at age 15.coolingitdown wrote:Really? Oh, my mistake.
